Software QA at eli in Montreal (in-person)

Job description

• Application
• Eli is looking for a Software QA to join our product team full-time, starting as soon as possible. You’ll be the voice of the customer within the team: working closely with product and design to ensure what we ship matches what we designed, and that the experience stays high as the app evolves, release after release.
• For this role, we need someone who solves engineering problems well, notices what others miss, and is comfortable enough in code to keep an automated test suite healthy.
• About you
• You have already shown that you go beyond the minimum: relevant work experience, side projects, or school projects that went beyond what the course asked. You solve varied engineering problems well, and that matters to us more than any specific tool. You’re meticulous, you like finding what’s wrong and explaining it clearly, and you can read and write code. You’re fluent in English and based in Montreal.

Responsibilities

• Verifying features against their design specs and acceptance criteria, and catching the deltas between what was designed vs. what was built.
• Owning the bug backlog in Jira with the team’s support: reproducing, documenting, and prioritizing issues so the backlog shrinks rather than grows.
• Maintaining and expanding our automated end-to-end test suite (Maestro) to cover every critical scenario across iOS and Android.
• Keeping those tests stable in our CI pipelines (GitHub Actions): investigating failures, fixing flaky tests yourself, and flagging real regressions fast.
• Testing releases by hand on real devices to catch the usability and edge-case issues automation can’t.
• Working with developers, designers and product to build quality into features before the code is written.

Requirements

• 1+ years of experience
• Able to read and write code proficiently, and to learn a test automation framework
• Demonstrated engineering problem-solving: a project (work, side, or school) you can walk us through
• Strong attention to detail and organization
• Fluent in English (written and spoken)
• Based in Montreal and willing to work from the office
• Experience with a mobile end-to-end framework (Maestro, Detox, Appium) or automated testing more broadly
• Familiarity with TypeScript / JavaScript or React Native
• Experience with git and CI pipelines (such as GitHub Actions)
• Experience reading design specs in Figma
• Interest in health or digital health
• If you don’t exactly match the description but believe you’d be a great addition to the team, please reach out — we value curiosity, mindset, and character.

Benefits

• Why you’ll love working at Eli
• You’ll work with a group of talented and mission-driven people eager to improve lifelong health at scale.
• You’ll be part of the core team developing and commercializing the first product that monitors hormonal data daily and over a lifetime.
• You’ll join the early-stage startup phase and have a wide-reaching impact in a constantly evolving, fast-paced environment.
• You’ll be part of a small (<25 people), high-performing, and diverse team where everything you do results in tangible impact and shapes the company’s trajectory.
• You’ll be in an environment where people drive their own work, think creatively about open-ended problems, and solve them proactively.
• You’ll get health insurance (medical, dental, vision, and more) to ensure you and your family stay physically and mentally at your best.
• You’ll have flexibility over your schedule and vacations. We seek to hire great people, then give them the autonomy and space they need to achieve their goals.
• Although our office and R&D facilities are in Montreal, we have a distributed team. We prioritize asynchronous workflows and minimize meetings to focus on the work itself.
• You and your +1 will have unlimited free access to the Bota Bota spa in Montreal to recharge.
